Bug 361909 – video_card_nouveau works fine on PPC64 (keyword and unmask in profiles/)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

mesa and xorg nouveau support has been (wrongly I suppose) dropped for ~ppc64.

x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.10 [1.9] INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick keyboard* mouse* -acecad -aiptek -elographics -fpit -penmount -synaptics -tslib (-virtualbox) (-vmmouse) -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="(-apm) (-ark) (-ast) (-chips) (-cirrus) -dummy -epson -fbdev (-fglrx) (-geode) (-glint) (-i128) (-i740) (-impact) (-intel) -mach64 -mga (-neomagic) (-newport) (-nouveau) -nv* (-nvidia) (-omapfb) (-qxl) -r128 -radeon (-rendition) (-s3) (-s3virge) (-savage) (-siliconmotion) (-sis) -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) (-tdfx) (-tga) (-trident) (-tseng) -v4l (-vesa) (-via) (-virtualbox) (-vmware) (-voodoo)"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" in /etc/make.conf
2. Try to emerge mesa and xorg-drivers
3.
Actual Results:  
- nouveau support is disabled for xorg-drivers and mesa
- VIDEO_CARDS="(-nouveau*)"


As a workaround, I manually added x11-base/xorg-drivers -video_cards_nouveau and media-libs/mesa -video_cards_nouveau in /usr/portage/profiles/arch/powerpc/package.use.mask

I got xorg and mesa build with nouveau support, and works fine on ~ppc64

Please re-enable for ppc32 as well.  I had a working nouveau installation prior to this.

This should be fixed now, sorry for the inconvenience!
